To my strong, courageous and loving Wolfram,

Sleep well my precious one. You gave all you could give and then even more. Without you I would not have become me. Thank you.

About Tricia Sellmer

Tricia Sellmer is a multi-layered, multi-medium Canadian artist working primarily within the parameters of painting and drawing. For more than fifteen years, she has concentrated on making the invisible visible. Her interests are three-pronged. The first probes the personal and veiled subtleties of the garden and the shifting patterns of the landscape. The second finds the extraordinary in the ordinary and focuses largely on the domestic lives of women and in particular those lives that have often been forgotten within the dialogue of history or silenced through circumstances beyond their control. The third connects the dots and blurs the boundaries between genres, often in collaboration with other artists who work in a different medium.

As an independent working artist she also writes, lectures and curates projects and exhibitions. Recently she opened Chazou Gallery, a project space that caters to contemporary Canadian and International artists.

She holds four degrees from three universities and has participated in numerous residencies. Her work hangs in public and private collections throughout North America and Europe.
